Diobol - Orodes II

Obverse description	Bust of Orodes II facing left, wearing a distinctive Parthian-style tiara or diadem adorned with multiple tiers of decorative elements. The king's hair is rendered in elaborate wavy or corded strands falling to the neck, characteristic of Arsacid royal portraiture. A short, well-groomed beard frames the face, and a torque or necklace is visible at the base of the neck. A palm frond or similar vegetal symbol appears in the left field. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic tradition adapted to Parthian aesthetic conventions.

Reverse description	Seated figure of an archer, identified as the Arsaces founder-type, enthroned to the right on an omphalos or throne, holding a bow in the extended right hand. A Greek legend partially visible in the surrounding field identifies the king, consistent with the standard Arsacid reverse formula. The composition follows the established Parthian numismatic type derived from Hellenistic prototypes, with the archer symbolizing the martial and dynastic legitimacy of the Arsacid line. The surface shows typical wear for hammered silver coinage of this period and denomination.
